"A clash between Heavyweight Charge and Meteor Shower! What will be the final result!?" The commentator repeated the words just now, staring intently at the smoke-filled screen.
Finally.
As the rain continued to pour down, most of the smoke in the field dissipated.
The scene revealed a large patch of exposed soil in the center, with Garchomp lying there, beside the towering presence of Mega Aggron.
"Grr... roar..."
Its voice resembled the rumbling thunder in the clouds, its demeanor unchanged from start to finish.
Beep!
The referee raised the flag, "Garchomp is unable to battle! Aggron wins!"
"The victor is decided! The unstoppable Aggron! It seems Contestant Baimu might dominate the second half of the finals with it!" The commentator's shout drew resounding cheers that echoed through the clouds.
The tournament finals concluded with a single Pokémon.
This is something that many aspire to but cannot achieve, yet it's about to unfold before their eyes.
Many spectators shouted in unison.
"Final one! Final one!"
But some spectators were also cheering tirelessly for Alice.
"Come on! Come on!"
"Turn it around now! His Aggron can't hold on much longer!"
The earth-shaking noise fully displayed the passion and fervor the audience maintained as the match neared its end, even drawing Xiaogang and others to join in cheering for both sides.
Everyone was aware.
The match might be approaching its finale.
Alice, being involved, felt it even more profoundly, especially upon realizing that neither Goodra nor Garchomp had caused much evident damage to Mega Aggron.
So strong.
She calmly recalled Garchomp, gently reassuring it, "You did great, Garchomp."
To match against Mega Aggron with its weakened state, its performance was commendable enough.
As for what's next...
Alice took a deep breath, looking up at the giant screen in the venue, noticing that the Aerial Rotom had coincidentally focused the camera on her.
She suddenly smiled.
Most of the audience was puzzled, how could she smile under such adverse circumstances?
Some spectators believed that Alice had her own confidence, that she was about to reveal her final trump card.
Only she knew.
She just remembered that boy with a Pikachu hat.
Ash Ketchum.
Though I don't know if you're watching my match.
But don't worry.
I won't give up!
No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will persevere until the end!
Alice raised the Pokeball high, displaying it to everyone with a loud voice:
"It's your turn to shine! This is the path you and I must take to become a Dragon Master! Let Baimu witness your might!"
With that said.
She threw the Pokeball forward.
Bam!
In the white light, an olive-armored giant dragon with a blood-red battle axe in its mouth stepped into the field, its sharp claws sinking into the soft soil, a pair of scarlet eyes shining brightly.
"Oh——!!"
A prolonged roar resounded!
"Contestant Alice's final Pokémon! Haxorus! Such powerful momentum!"
Even if Ash and Celestial Tung were present, it would be hard for them to see the once-cute Axew in this imposing dragon beast.
In just a year, it underwent a tremendous transformation.
Even if Alice wasn't yet the Unova Champion, Haxorus had apparently surpassed Excadrill and Dragonite to become her strongest partner.
If there is any chance of a comeback in this 5:0 match, then without a doubt, hope lies with Haxorus!
The rain was cold.
But it couldn't extinguish the burning fire of determination in her heart.
Alice slightly closed her eyes and reached out her hand, a golden glow radiating from her palm, appearing particularly mystical.
Even without Super Evolution.
The Dragon's Heart still closely connected her and Haxorus, they are no less than Baimu and Mega Aggron!
Discussions arose in the audience.
Many were astounded by this strange scene.
The commentator picked up the information and, before the commotion could expand further, shouted, "Contestant Alice has used the Dragon's Heart! As a Trainer from Dragon Land! She possesses the magical power to understand Dragon-type Pokémon!"
Dragon's Heart!?
Many were hearing this odd term for the first time.
However, special abilities are not rare in the Pokémon World, ranging from Superpower Users and Spirit Mediums to Wave Guide Messengers and Mysterious Travelers.
Their traces are never lacking in this world.
Therefore, the audience was only more eager to see the process and result of the battle due to Alice's strange conduct at this time.
Opposite side.
Baimu nodded slightly.
The Haxorus with Breaking the Rules Trait means that Mega Aggron's Filter cannot resist its type-restricted Techniques.
In a way, it's being restrained.
But it's not a big problem.
Even though Mega Aggron has already fought two battles, the Haxorus with Dragon's Heart dreaming of defeating it is merely wishful thinking!
"Dragon Dance!"
"Taunt!"
Both trainers gave their orders simultaneously.
Haxorus raised its head and roared, with pink-purple airstreams swirling around it like flames, greatly enhancing its momentum and abilities!
Mega Aggron watched it strengthen itself, and as soon as it made eye contact, it casually curled its claw.
"Guh roar."
In fact.
No matter how Mega Aggron posed or what expression it made, this taunt would inevitably succeed.
Because Haxorus had long been unable to hold back from launching an attack.
For its comrade, for its Trainer!
It must take down this seemingly tough giant, then reverse and complete the comeback!
Attack! Attack!
"Oh!!"
Haxorus suddenly charged forward, mud splashing underfoot as the burst of air from its rush produced a fierce whooshing sound.
"Splitting Tiles!"
Alice shouted.
Baimu looked calm, "Iron Wall."
Mega Aggron stood peacefully, waiting, its expression mirroring its Trainer's, as if seeing nothing of Haxorus's aggressive approach.
The two sides approached.
"Oh!"
Haxorus skillfully twisted its body, its large glowing brown-red tail aimed at Mega Aggron's head and slammed down hard!
Bam!
As if a heavy hammer struck steel.
In the great noise, the smoke cleared to reveal Mega Aggron unfazed, only a shimmering silver light passed over the spot just hit by Haxorus.
It looked indifferently at Haxorus who was now close at hand, and curled its claw again.
"Guh roar."
Come again.
"Oh!!"
Haxorus's anger was ignited, its claws and the twin axes beside its mouth glowing brown-red, continuously striking various parts of Mega Aggron's body.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Each hit was extremely heavy, making anyone who heard it feel nervous and tense.
The commentator shouted, "Haxorus's offensive is exceptionally fierce! But... it seems to have no effect on Aggron!"
"How could it be!"
Alice's pupils quaked, completely surprised that what faced the previous Garchomp and Goodra was still not the limit of Mega Aggron.
What level of Defense Power is this?
It's terrifying!
Haxorus is like a child wielding a wooden hammer, charging at a fully armed Heavy Armor Knight—
Aside from making some sound, it achieved nothing else.
Mega Aggron even proactively maintained its face close, or guided Haxorus towards specific points to attack.
Result.
From beginning to end, Mega Aggron's stance never changed, like a towering mountain standing unmoved.
"Guh roar..."
It looked down at the dragon beast with jaws on the axe blade, spewing a large amount of white breath, its bottled-up dissatisfaction reaching its peak.
Unexpectedly.
The so-called tournament final's ace Pokémon turned out like this.
The so-called Breaking the Rules Trait, ignoring Filter Trait and launching type-restrained attacks, was just this.
What it anticipated ended up as just this...
Mega Aggron suddenly stretched out its right claw, fiercely gripping the axe blade swung by Haxorus, completely ignoring the Attribute Energy attached to it and Haxorus's shocked expression, slightly twisting its body and then exerting a powerful fling!
Whoosh!
Haxorus was instantly sent flying, dragging marks several meters long on the ground before stopping.
It lifted its head.
What greeted it was a terrifying roar comparable to an Explosive Sound Wave, visible as a pale white soundwave that made it instinctively cross its claws in front of itself as it retreated several steps!
The remaining grass flew up with roots, along with countless soil and gravel, fled in every direction as if gaining freedom.
"Guh roar!!"
Mega Aggron's blue eyes sparked with crimson, staring directly at Haxorus, its vicious demeanor seemingly warning its opponent.
Use your full strength!
Otherwise—
I'll smash you!!
